  • Patent number: 11299771
    Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for colorimetric detection schemes for detecting a variety of biomolecules. The compositions and methods employ DNA hybridization chain reaction for catalytic aggregation of gold nanoparticles. In this catalytic aggregation scheme, a single target DNA strand triggers the formation of multiple inter-particle linkages in contrast to the single linkage formed in conventional direct aggregation schemes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 22, 2018
    Date of Patent: April 12, 2022
    Assignee: Boise State University
    Inventors: Jeunghoon Lee, Bernard Yurke, Elton Graugnard, Will Hughes, Bert Huttanus
